DIRE STRAITS TOO?
The Straits of Hesperus are paved now
and traffic flows smoothly while the
rational man is held happy. They don't
give one much choice here, except the
idea of choosing itself; which is easy
enough to say. And most men are
fooled by that alone.
-
We live in a one-digit world, it seems,
and all occasions for wonderment or
awe, creativeness and elevation have
been removed. There is little now but
lice and decay on the frozen-cake platter
we dine from. Celebration?
-
Once Humankind was shook and
unsettled by the disappearing sun -
which then reappeared and calmed them
again. Until something else came along;
until some else, and then...
-
How do we live, in this iron-hand vice?
